What to Know About Teeth Whitening
Professional options: Dental whitening products are designed to provide more controlled treatment than many over-the-counter approaches.
Results vary: The amount of whitening you can expect depends on the type and depth of staining and your starting tooth shade.
Temporary sensitivity: Some patients notice short-term tooth sensitivity during or after whitening, and we can discuss ways to make treatment more comfortable.
Existing restorations: Crowns, veneers, and fillings do not whiten the same way natural enamel does, so we consider existing dental work when planning treatment.
Whitening works best when your teeth and gums are healthy. An exam can help identify cavities, gum irritation, or restorations that should be considered before you begin.
FAQs
How long do teeth whitening results last? Results vary based on diet, oral hygiene, tobacco use, and other habits. Touch-up treatment may help maintain the shade over time.
Is professional teeth whitening safe? Whitening is generally considered safe when used appropriately. We can evaluate your teeth and recommend an approach that fits your oral health.
Will whitening work on crowns or veneers? Whitening products change the shade of natural tooth enamel, not porcelain or tooth-colored restorative materials.
Can whitening cause sensitivity? Temporary sensitivity can occur. Let us know if you already have sensitive teeth so we can discuss ways to reduce discomfort.
